Pike Central High School

Dear Charger Community,

Spring has brought with it volatile weather, unfortunately impacting several of our families. As a community, we unite in times of need to support one another. We ask for your generous assistance for the Vest family, whose home was destroyed in the recent tornado that affected the region. Donations can be made at The Ole Flower Shoppe located at 201 S. 7th ST. Petersburg, IN 47567, or Go Fund Me: https://gofund.me/c9db0abe

Our students and staff anticipate a restorative Spring Break. Upon our return, we will proceed with the preparations for Prom and graduation, marking the conclusion of another academic year. We extend our sincere gratitude for the continued support from our community.

🎉 BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD! 🏆
